This happens from time to time and the clerks always swipe the card and enter the info. Well this time the...

    pay?

    Depending on your agreement with the owner I would say you should be able to net $600 in one week. Lots of variable factors,the company that the truck is leased to,the area you live in all play a role.

    Hello Panther II

    If Panther has an escrow account that should certainly cover the cost of a 4.5 year old Q Comm. I am sure Panther bills the customer when they receive the PPWK so it seems to me,that the person who did the work should be paid irregardless of his available status. What would happen if Bob had an...

    Hello Panther II

    Hey Bob, I like that idea of holding off until you comeback fom vacation.To me this Panther Policy is a strong method of control. Take time off but forget about being paid until you are available again . That simply is not right,you did the work,you should get paid.

    WALMART

    This may be redundant for a lot of us but you can identify a Walmart Supercenter that is off a exit on an interstate. After the lodging and food signs come up,if the Fuel sign says Murphy Oil that is a Walmart Supercenter. Murphy oil is the Walmart fuel outlet and you can ususally find a place...

    GETTING OLDER

    It is the responsibility of the renters to rein in the Mother not you. As Terry says, they need to obtain and pay for a renters policy that will cover damage that they create,intentionally or not. I would have a strong heart to heat with the renters and work this out before it becomes a real...

    Truckstops

    Pilot has added quite a few new truckstops through acquistions of other brands. They took over the Williams and Speedway chains. There have been some new Petro 2 stops built and TA has also aquired existing independents. I think putting in a brand new truck stop is a long and expensive project...

    Any Sudjestions on what company to lease with?

    I would go with either carrier, Panther ( in spite of recent posts) and Express 1 are also solid carriers with a good customer base. LEA is also a solid carrier but I think some experience with a centralized dispatch operation would be in order before you consider LEA. My thoughts only..
